Neville's Inner Vision
Read as a Neville Goddard reading, the lines become a declaration of inner state. 'In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust' is not an appeal to a distant deity, but a turning of awareness to the I AM, the unshakable center of being. Trust here is a living state, not a cry from lack; it anchors the mind so confusion cannot take hold. 'Deliver me in thy righteousness' invites you to align your thoughts with divine order—knowing rightness is the inner law that frees you. To 'incline thine ear unto me, and save me' is to listen to the inner guidance and respond with the feeling of rescue, confirming that you are seen and preserved. 'Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort' declares the inner sanctuary as your home; you return there whenever fear arises. The final line, 'thou art my rock and my fortress,' seals the truth: the I AM is the fixed reality you inhabit. By repeating this inward alignment and feeling it as real, you experience the protection and steadiness described, here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and in the next breath assume you are already within that fortress, the I AM. Repeat softly, I am kept safe by divine order; feel the calm anchor spreading through your mind.
